Stop your search!! Do not look any further for a place to stay in Bangkok! IF you want an authentic experience in Bangkok, if you want to stay out of the throngs of tourists, if you want to meet some of the kindest hosts we've ever met, if you want to have beautiful views and peace and quiet (except for the occasional boat going by) to enjoy in the morning before you go out to explore, and if you want to have amazingly delicious breakfasts in the morning, THIS IS the place for you! Our group of 7 stayed at the canal house for 3 nights at the beginning of December, and all of us unanimously agreed that it was a terrific decision. We had the perfect amount of bedrooms to spread out and be together while still having privacy. The 3 bathrooms downstairs together ended up being no issue at all and were very convenient with good water pressure and hot water that did not run out after 2-5 minutes (a rarity we learned while staying in Thailand). The house itself was immaculately clean, and even though it was right on a canal, the windows were all screened in so mosquitos were not an issue. The canal house property is BEAUTIFUL and just so lovely to come home to and enjoy in the morning before heading out for the day. My husband and I would make our way out while everyone was still sleeping or getting ready and enjoy sitting by the canal or lying in the hammock watching the boats go by and reading a book. Our group was a little worried that the location may make it difficult to reach the main sights, but we had absolutely no issue getting Grab taxis back and forth from the canal house and we never felt unsafe returning back home at night. Now, for the hosts themselves - Sirichan's family is AMAZING, and honestly some of the kindest people we ever met!! They were so accommodating, kind, and helpful. The breakfasts prepared by the matriarch were some of the most, if not the most, delicious we had during our entire trip. We miss the canal house, the wonderful family that owns the property, and our time there - next time we are back in Bangkok, we will not hesitate to stay here for one second! Tips: 1) definitely ask for the Mango sticky rice for one of your mornings as others have mentioned - it's delicious!! 2) taking a GRAB to the canal house was a very short wait, but taking a GRAB from the canal house to the city was a longer wait of around 10-15 minutes as it's further from the tourist sites, so plan accordingly. 3) recommend setting up airport pickups and drop-offs through Sirichan to make getting to/from airport easier - it's pricier than GRAB but is much more convenient especially for getting to/from airport on time and efficiently - Mr. T was a wonderful driver! 4) Around 7AM or a bit earlier, boats start cruising down the canal past the house for the morning commute - some have loud motors, so if you sleep late and are easily woken up bring earplugs - the boats were not an issue for any of us, but just a heads up for those who are very noise-sensitive.
